Here is what I would like to put in comment section of article as well as email to VC(he has closed his discussion with Ashok but not with every1else). The purpose of putting up here is that we can send it on behalf of India-forum if you desire so and you can also scrutinise it so that it's true representative of the forum:
Dear VC,
Though you have given 1 example of Khajuraho yet you have generalised it in conclusion as if you are talking of all Hindu temples. To the best of my knowledge, it is more of 'vastukala ka namuna' rather than temple. Just to preserve this piece of architecture, they named it as temple so that ignorant minds may not destroy it. It only goes to show that it was the zenith of Indian architecture rather than eroticism as you are making out to be which reminds me of Freud to whom the suckling of mother's breast by a neonate was also act of sex.
Following in the same vein, your coclusion that it was to encourage prostitution seems to be far fetched and disingenious. Hinduism is 1 of the religions where you will find gods and godesses unlike others which are male dominant. If we follow your logic, people may not think highly of nuns.
Thanks,
